platform/x86: hp-bioscfg: bioscfg

Add common functions support to hp-bioscfg.

HP BIOS Configuration driver purpose is to provide a driver supporting
the latest sysfs class firmware attributes framework allowing the user
to change BIOS settings and security solutions on HP Inc.’s commercial
notebooks.
